Ireland winger Andrew Conway has signed a contract extension with Munster and the IRFU.

The 26-year-old - a product of the Leinster youth system - has committed his future to Thomond Park until 2020 after agreeing a new two-year deal.

Conway has made six appearances for Ireland since making his Test debut against England in last year’s Six Nations, but is currently sidelined with a knee problem.

Munster have also announced Stephen Fitzgerald has extended his development contract by a further year. The 22-year-old academy graduate has made three appearances for the province.
